Hi, I use 3DS Max 2012, and the FBX Plugin version is 2012.02. I created a model, which included three geometric objects, and I grouped them into one, and assign a material, then export to .dae format. When exporting, 3DS Max 2012 output the following message:

Code:

While reading or writing a file the following notifications have been raised. -Warning: Null not supported by COLLADA. Node box will lose its geometric information. The node transforms will be saved.

After then, I use ColladaConv to convert the model, below is the output message:

Remember you need to texture your model or modify the model shader to make your model visible in Horde3D.

Suppose I doesn't texture my model like the attached file, and I only set the model's material by "Phong" or "Blinn" illumination model (using the Ambient light, Diffuse light and Specular light), after I export the model to .dae format, and then convert the .dae format to Horde3D resource format, can Horde3D render the model with the material I set in 3DS Max 2012?

If you want to do a quick test if an untextured object's geometry is correctly imported you may try to use the debug rendering mode.

Hi Volker, I am reading the Horde3D documation, but can't find how to set the debug rendering mode.Also, does the Horde3D editor support the test that if an untextured object's geometry is correctly imported?

The editor does no additional checks. So all you get is the same debug output messages that you will get using h3dutDumpMessages. If there is a referenced texture that couldn't be loaded, you will see an error in the log. Not sure if you will get an error if you have no texture referenced but the shader you're using is expecting one. Probably not.
